Instead, they remain suspended in a state of productive instability, a process Lin describes as a form of “material autopsy.” Her work occupies this unsettled territory of in-between states, where objects and materials appear displaced from their expected contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eAppearing at first as a fledgling red oak tree in autumn, with richly colored foliage extending from its branches, \u003ci\u003eCoat Tree \u003c\/i\u003egradually transitions downward into the familiar form of a contemporary coat stand. Neither entirely tree nor entirely object, the work exists somewhere between the organic world and the functional language of contemporary mass-manufactured furniture design. As discussed in relation to Atkinson’s example where the body works on a body, this sculpture is also deeply self-referential: it is made from red oak, simultaneously being made to resemble red oak. The work captures the tree at a moment of seasonal transformation, suspended between the fullness of autumn and the dormancy of winter, existing between states of growth and decline.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joyce Lin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71160038916349,"sku":null,"price":24000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0411\/4487\/7221\/files\/DSC_9453_copy.jpg?v=1787074085","url":"https:\/\/museum-for-art-in-wood.myshopify.com\/vi\/products\/joyce-lin-red-oak-roast-copy","provider":"Museum for Art in Wood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
